Oscar Freire keeps on winning at the Vuelta Espana. After yesterdays second stage win, Freire was the fastest man of
the pack again today. His victory in the sixth stage might be most beautiful yet, because all top sprinters participated in
the sprint. This also included Alessandro Petacchi and Tom Boonen, who, because of the hilly terrain, had both been unable
to stay with the pack in the other stages the Spaniard won.

The breakaway of the day in the sixth stage involved four riders: Yuriy Krivstov (AG2R) , Magnus Backstedt
Liquigas), Stephane Auge (Cofidis) and José Antonio López (Andalucia - Cayasur). These four escapees were caught in final
kilometers of the stage that was also marked by nervousness over the appearance of a crosswind, although the bunch
ultimately didn't break the race into a thousand little pieces.
Stay focused and not do too much work was what basically the Rabo team did this stage. The luxury of
having two stage victories already put the responsibility of catching up with the day's four escapees just before the finish
squarely in the laps of the other sprinter's teams. That happened, and the pace was kept so tight after that that the mass
sprint indeed became a reality. Freire happily watched it happen, was guided to a good position by his team mates, and he
finished it off once again. For a long time it looked like he was boxed in, but, coming from Petacchi's wheel, the former
world champion was able to make a jump that was too powerful for everyone.
Rabobank sports director Erik Breukink did not want to label this stage victory 'the most beautiful one'.
"Every victory has its own story. Yesterday's victory was special because of the toughness of the stage, the first one because
of the uphill finish were he beat Bettini, and today in a real mass sprint. Oscar just wins in all possible ways." According
to the team manager, Freire, who will not finish this tour, is not even in his best shape. "With Stuttgart in mind, he will
have to improve his condition because he will have to ride 260 kilometers there. So he is not super super."
Breukink could look back on a perfect day. "There was no pressure on us. And we have already worked a lot.
We first rode for Oscar, then for his leader's jersey, then for Denis, and then for Oscar again. We had worked enough; the
initiative was with the others. Still, the guys had to do a lot anyway to keep Menchov out of the wind, because of the side
wind and the nervousness. And a special compliment for Sébastian Langeveld and Pedro Horrillo who both helped Freire stay
in front during the finale really well." The only downside was the knee injury that bothered Theo Eltink after yesterday's
crash. "He complained, but hopefully he will get better soon."
Oscar Freire even surprised himself with his third stage victory in the Vuelta: "Guys like Alessandro Petacchi
and Tom Boonen didn’t expend too much energy yesterday and in addition we had the wind behind us, which always favours
racers as powerful as they are. That’s why I thought it was a perfect day for the sprinters who weigh more." Freire
added: "Everyone thinks it's really easy to win in a sprint, but it isn’t. Not at all. There are risks and I have to
take them on. The team is helping me and there is no other way to pay back all my teammates' efforts than to sprint. They
didn’t work in tandem today? No, Rabobank didn’t work in tandem today, but I can’t ask anything more of
them because they've done some much on other days and we have confidence in Menchov. You have to save your energy looking
ahead to the final week."
There were no changes in the general classification but CSC sports director Kim Anderson said the stage was
difficult: "It was a bit hectic out there due to the wind, We'd hoped for a quiet day, but that wasn't to be. Luckily we succeeded
in getting Carlos through the stage just fine."
Gómez Marchante (Saunier Duval) said: "I took it easy at the echelon. I remained behind for a while, but then
I saw there were 50 riders I could easily join, and I did. We´re expecting a similar stage tomorrow, marked by the wind, which
might be stronger than today. Anyway, we´ll try and take the lead. Well, for the time-trial on Saturday... we´ll just pray
and do our best not to lose any time."
